In presenting this work to the public, we wish to acknowledge the 
painstaking, enthusiastic, and able efforts of Assistant Adjutant General, Col. 
George H. Turner, who, by long and most honorable military service, was 
especially fitted for the work of compiling this volume. To him is due our 
unbounded gratitude, and the full honor of these carefully prepared records.

INTRODUCTORY 


The compilation of the military history of each soldier of the Civil War 
(who was a resident of the State of Michigan at the time he enlisted), for 
publication and distribution has been the subject of controversy for years. The 
magnitude of such a work, together with the cost of publication, the exhaustive 
research required and the amount of clerical services necessary in its compil¬ 
ation, have been large factors in postponing, from time to time, the consideration 
of the subject. 

To comply as far as possible with this demand an admirable history was 
prepared by Adjutant General John Robertson, a few years ago, entitled “Mich¬ 
igan in the War,” and gratuitously distributed through the generosity of the 
state to the surviving soldiers of the war and to the families of those who 
perished. But this work was general in character, referring mostly to regimental 
organizations, and contained the military biography of commissioned officers only. 

The enlisted men of the army who endured the hardships and suffered 
the perils of war considered it due themselves and their children that their 
names should appear of record in the archives of their country and their services 
noted, that future generations might know the honorable part their ancestors 
bore in the memorable conflict known as the Civil War. Such a record will 
ever be a source of patriotic pride to the soldier who did his duty whether he 
served in the ranks or in command of divisions or corps, and an inspiration to 
the youth of the country who must in the future assume the civic and military 
responsibilities of this grand republic. 

At the annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, Depart¬ 
ment of Michigan, held at Pontiac, June n and 12, 1902, the following resolution 
was passed unanimously: 

“ Resolved: That the Department of Michigan, Grand Army of the 
Republic, in encampment assembled, hereby request of the legislature and the 
Governor of Michigan that immediate provision be made for the publication 
of the record of the officers and enlisted men who served from this state during 
the Civil War in form substantially the same as those published by other 
states, notably New Hampshire, Connecticut and Ohio.” 

The Department Commander appointed a committee on legislation con¬ 
sisting of C. E. Foote, Kalamazoo, Col. Fred Schneider, Lansing, and Alfred 




IV 


INTRODUCTORY 


Milnes, Coldwater. This committee drafted the following bill, which was passed 
by both houses of the legislature in the session of 1903, an d was promptly signed 
by Governor Bliss. 

The act is known as Act 147, Public Acts of 1903. 

The first three sections of the Act are as follows, and the concluding 
sections refer to provisions of contracting for publication and auditing accounts. 

The People of the State of Michigan enact: 

Section 1. The Adjutant General shall, as soon as practicable after the passage of this 
act, prepare for publication an alphabetical regimental history of all soldiers and sailors who 
enlisted from and were credited to this state during the war of the rebellion. Such history 
shall contain the name, residence, date of enlistment, da f e of muster in, rank, promotion, 
wounds received, capture and imprisonment by the enemy, date of discharge, muster out or 
death, and such information as can be obtained from the records of this state, the war, navy 
and other departments of the Federal Government, or other authentic sources, as will correct 
or complete the records, making as far as practicable a complete and concise military history 
of each soldier or sailor so serving; prefacing each volume of such records appropriately, 
with a concise general history of the organization therein named. He shall direct the prepara¬ 
tion and compilation of such records for publication in forty-three, forty-four, forty-five, or 
forty-six volumes, assigning as far as practicable one volume to each of the following organi¬ 
zations and groups of organizations, viz.: One volume to each regimental infantry organiza¬ 
tion and reorganization, numbered from First to Thirtieth regiment; one volume each to 
First regiment of Michigan Engineers and Mechanics, First regiment Michigan Sharpshooters, 
and First regiment Michigan colored troops; one volume to the fourteen Michigan Batteries 
of Light Artillery; one volume to Gen. George A. Custer’s Cavalry Brigade, consisting of 
the First, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh regiments of Michigan cavalry; one volume to each of 
the Second, Third, Fourth, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Michigan cavalry regiments; 
and one volume to contain all other miscellaneous organizations and detachments enlisted in 
this state and serving in Michigan and other state organizations; and one volume to contain 
a general alphabetical index of all names mentioned in the different volumes constituting 
the entire edition, showing in what organization or volume each name in the index may be 
found, for the convenient reference of the public in library sets, which index volume is here¬ 
with limited to two hundred copies. For this purpose the Adjutant General is authorized 
to employ such extra clerical assistance and procure such blanks and stationery as may be 
necessary in the preparation, compilation, comparing and proof reading, necessary to secure 
historical and typographical accuracy. 

Section 2. The distribution of said volumes when published shall be made under 
the supervision of the Adjutant General, in the same general manner now adopted for the 
distribution of “ Michigan in the War,” under section three, act two hundred forty-eight, 
public acts of eighteen hundred eighty-seven. One regimental volume to the applicant of the 
organization in which he served as follows: Any person who served in any Michigan regi¬ 
ment, battery, company or detachment during the Civil War, and has been honorably dis¬ 
charged, or any person who served in any regiment, battery or company from any other 
state, or in the regular army, or in the navy, properly accredited to the State of Michigan, 
and has been honorably discharged, or if such person be dead, then his widow if living, or 
if she be dead, then his father if living, if he be dead, then the mother of any such person, 
or if she be dead, then to his eldest child, if any there be; and any such person who is still 




INTRODUCTORY 


v 


in the service, shall be entitled to receive one copy of said work, on application and identifica¬ 
tion to the Adjutant General, and if the application for such copy be not made in person by 
depositing with the Adjutant General necessary postage to cover the expense of sending such 
book. Also complete sets to adjutants general of other states, and to state and United States 
public libraries upon application, and to such other libraries in this state as the Governor 
may approve, and may be purchased by any other persons who may apply at cost of publication. 

Section 3. So soon as the work of preparation and compilation of the historical records 
herein provided for shall have progressed sufficiently near completion to enable printers and 
binders to make accurate estimates of the cost of publication, the Adjutant General shall 
serve a written notification of that fact on the Board of State Auditors; upon such notifica¬ 
tion, at the earliest practicable moment, the Board of State Auditors is hereby directed to 
solicit sealed bids for the publication, printing and binding of forty-five thousand volumes of 
“ A Record of Michigan Soldiers and Sailors in the War of the Rebellion, Eighteen Hundred 
Sixty-one to Eighteen Hundred Sixty-Five,” and give public notice of the time and place 

for receiving such bids and the requirements of the contract in accordance with this act by 

% 

publishing the same in such paper or papers, and for such a period as will in the judgment 
of the board bring the subject to the attention of the several prominent publishing houses in 
this state: Provided, That the cost of such work complete shall not exceed fourteen thousand 
dollars for the printing, binding and delivery of the entire edition herein provided for; and 
the standard of excellence in quality of material, style of binding, typography and style of 
printing shall be equal to that used by the state of Massachusetts in its recent publication of 
“ Massachusetts’ Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War,” copies of which are now 
on file in the Adjutant General’s office of this state: Provided, further, That the apportion¬ 
ment of the copies of the different regimental volumes of the edition of forty-five thousand 
volumes herein provided for, shall be in the same relative proportion as the total enrollment 
of the organizations represented in any single volume bears to the total enrollment of the 
entire edition as provided for in this act; for which purpose the Adjutant General shall 
direct the preparation of, and furnish the Board of State Auditors with a comprehensive table 
of data, showing the total enrollment of the organization, and the total number of printed 
pages intended for each volume, and the apportionment of the total number of copies to each 
of such volumes, for the guidance of bidders for the contract of publishing such work. 

Immediately upon the approval of the act by the Governor, the Adjutant 
General commenced active preparations to compile the work as provided for in 
the bill. No state has been more generous than Michigan in trying to secure 
full and complete historical military data of her sons, who patriotically volun¬ 
teered to defend the integrity of their country, and probably the records in the 
military department are as accurate and complete as any like records of any 
state in the Union. Yet with all the care and research that has been made, 
there are individual histories that are deficient in some particulars, owing to 
the fact that the returns from which they were copied were written in the field 
during active and protracted campaigns, when great battles were fought, and 
the movement of troops continued incessantly night and day, circumstances 
incompatible with accuracy, completeness and legibility, and by officers who 
succeeded suddenly in command by the death of their predecessors. The 
greater number who possessed the information desired have been removed by 




VI 


INTRODUCTORY 


death, and their silent lips can never complete the unwritten history of their 
comrades. 

It was sometimes impossible in the stirring times of war for command¬ 
ing officers to give authentic and final history of men who disappeared in a 
great battle, as in many cases the bodies of the dead could not be found, and if 
possession of the field was yielded to the enemy the fate of those who were 
made prisoners of war could only, if ever, be learned through unreliable Con¬ 
federate sources. 

For such heroes who died for their country and who sleep in nameless 
graves their epitaph is inscribed in this history as “ Missing in action.” A more 
honorable or heroic epitaph could not be penned. Thousands of the Union dead 
have been removed by the Government from the field where they fell, and their 
bodies have been placed in national cemeteries, beautified and adorned, as the 
mausoleum of the nation’s defenders with appropriate monuments at their rest¬ 
ing places. 

In order to complete some of the records of the Adjutant General’s 
Office, which is the custodian of all the field returns of the Civil War, Governor 
Bliss made a request of the Secretary of War, seconded by Senators Burrows 
and Alger, asking that the incomplete, individual records of this office be com¬ 
pleted, upon presentation by the Adjutant General, provided the War Depart¬ 
ment was in possession of the facts desired. For reasons which seemed sufficient 
to the Secretary of War, the request was denied. 

To supplement the records of this office so as to make each individual 
history complete as far as possible, blanks were prepared and sent to all the 
Grand Army Posts of the state, with the request that the names of all Michigan 
soldiers in the Post and vicinity be returned to the Adjutant General stating the 
residence, if living, and, if dead, the date of death and place of burial. 

Three hundred out of the three hundred and sixty Posts of the state 
responded, and the data gathered from these reports have been added to the 
official history shown by the records of this office. Without doubt there are 
some inaccuracies in these reports, but the majority of them are correct and 
will enable many ex-soldiers to locate their comrades, if living, and to know 
their resting places if dead. 

A request was also made of each superintendent of the eighty national 
cemeteries to forward to the Adjutant General the names of all Michigan 
soldiers buried in such cemeteries. A gratifying response was received, and 
these reports have been carefully compiled and added to the history of the 
soldier. These reports of the superintendents of national cemeteries tell a 
mournful story. The superintendent of the National Cemetery at Andersonville, 
Ga., reports the names of six hundred and forty-seven Michigan soldiers buried 




INTRODUCTORY

there, victims of Andersonville prison. There is scarcely a national ceme¬ 
tery in the United States that does not contain the bodies of Michigan soldiers, 
and a number of them as many as the cemetery at Andersonville, Ga. 

Near the close of the war there were many recruits at depots awaiting 
transportation to join regiments at the front, but when it was found their 
services would not be needed, many returned home without the formality of 
a muster out, and their final disposition was incomplete, and in many such 
cases shows “ no further record.” 

In the compilation of this work no pains have been spared and no 
research of the almost numberless field returns made forty years ago, has 
seemed too arduous to make the soldiers’ record absolutely complete if there 
were material existing to make this possible. That inaccuracies will appear is 
unavoidable from the nature of the work. The inaccuracies are not the result 
of careless clerical work in the Adjutant General’s office, but are due to the 
hasty compilation of returns in the field, where names were misspelled and 
where the name of a soldier is spelled differently in the muster-in and muster- 
out rolls. 

In cases where the name could not be verified as the correct one both 
are published. When inaccuracies appear in the record if the soldier will send 
his discharge papers to the Adjutant General, the corrections will be made in 
the official records of the office and the discharge papers promptly returned. It 
scarcely occurred to the officers who made their official returns to the different 
departments that forty years after the conflict, an individual history of each 
soldier who participated would be written. Had such been known then, the 
meagre and scant accounts of skirmishes, battles and sieges — many of them 
destined to be of world-wide fame — would have been extended and written 
out fully giving a comprehensive history of individuals, companies and regi¬ 
ments, a history that would be a priceless heritage today and to future genera¬ 
tions. 

The hardships of a campaign, the duties exacted night and day, the 
constant attention to matters of vital importance, are not conducive to literary 
efforts of biography or general history. It is pathetic to know that thousands 
upon thousands of Union soldiers who participated in many of the most des¬ 
perate battles of the Civil War, have no records of such battles to their credit in 
the official reports. A limited number were fortunate enough to have their 
names recorded by their officers as participating in such engagements. 

Whenever the official records have mentioned the battles in which the 
soldier fought, or wounds that he received, or promotions made, or any gallant 
and meritorious service, such record has been carefully noted and attached to 
the soldier’s history. At the commencement of the work it was found that 


/ 



INTRODUCTORY 


many soldiers saw service in more than one regiment, and as the appropriation 
contemplated but one volume to each man, the entire history of the soldier has 
been compiled under his name and placed in the volume where he served 
longest. The primary object of the whole work has been to group the comrades 
who served in the same regiment, with names arranged in alphabetical order, 
and present him with the volume containing his own military history and the 
history of those with whom he served. 

The soldiers who enlisted for three years and after serving two years 
re-enlisted in the field for “ three years or during the war,” have the distinctive 
and honorable title of “ veteran ” placed after their names. 

Careful enumeration has been made of the total enrollment of each regi¬ 
ment, together with the list of casualties. 

The work of compiling these individual histories has been long and 
arduous, but it has been one of gratification and satisfaction to record the 
gallant deeds of Michigan men who contributed so gloriously to the unity and 
perpetuity of the Union.

MICHIGAN VOLUNTEERS, 1861-1865 


The regiment left Grand Rapids November 28, 1861, for St. Louis, Mo., 
under command of Lieutenant Colonel Robert H. G. Minty. In March, 
1862, the Third was in the army commanded by General Pope, who at that 
date was operating against Island No. 10, in the Mississippi River, the 
regiment being located at New Madrid, Mo., and was constantly under fire 
for several days. The water at this place was extremly bad, and more sick¬ 
ness was contracted here than at any one period of the four and a half 
years’ service of the regiment, the death rate being very heavy. 

Governor Blair commissioned Captain John K. Mizner, U. S. A., Colonel 
of the regiment March 7, 1862, and he immediately assumed command. 

After the evacuation of New Madrid and the surrender of Island No. 
10 the regiment was sent up the Tennessee River to the battlefield of Shiloh 
and £ook part in the siege of Corinth, Miss., which lasted until the end of 
May, and during that time the regiment performed most efficient service 
and was highly commended by officers in high command. 

After the fall of Corinth the Third served under General Rosecranz 
in the campaign in Mississippi and Alabama, which was directed by General 
Grant. It bore a conspicuous part in the battle of Iuka, Sept. 19, 1862, and 
acted so gallantly that General Rosecranz acknowledged its meritorious 
services in general orders. 

One of its hardest fought battles was that of Corinth, Miss., October 
3 and 4, 1862. For several days some portions of the regiment were in the 
saddle without intermission day and night. On the retreat of the rebels 
south the Third Cavalry were constantly on their flanks and rear, capturing 
many prisoners. This pursuit extended over 75 miles into the heart of 
Mississippi. 

During the following months of that year the regiment was constantly 
on scouting duty, and its marches and engagements with the enemy were 
continuous and incessant. During this period it was under command of 
Captain Lyman G. Wilcox, Colonel Mizner having been made Chief of 
Cavalry for the Sixteenth Army Corps, while Lieutenant Colonel Minty was 
commissioned Colonel of the Fourth Cavalry and returned to Michigan and 
organized that regiment. 

In November the confederates destroyed telegraphic communications 
between General Grant and General Sherman, the former at La Grange and 
the latter at Memphis, Tenn. It was important that General Grant should 
communicate with General Sherman. Captain Cicero Newell, who had been 
commissioned Captain of company K, April 11, 1862, vice Davis, resigned, 
was selected, with his company, to carry the dispatches, although the coun¬ 
try was held by the enemy in strong force and every road guarded. By 
persistent effort and marked tact and bravery Captain Newell succeeded in 
delivering the dispatches and received a complimentary letter from General 
Sherman for the daring deed. This was only one of the many daring ex¬ 
peditions by the officers and men of this regiment during that momentous 
period. 

The regiment did efficient service in northern Mississippi and Ten¬ 
nessee during the winter of 1863, and took part in a severe engagement at 
Jackson, Tenn., in July of that year. In August it was engaged with the 
enemy at Grenada, Miss., and destroyed an immense amount of railroad 
stock, including 60 locomotives and nearly 500 cars. During the following 
months of the year, by continuous marches and fighting, it succeeded in 
driving from the country the notorious bands of guerrillas that had long 
infested that section. It met on several occasions the forces under Generals 




THIRD CAVALRY

Forest and Chalmers, and severe engagements took place at Ripley, Orizaba 
and Ellistown, Miss., and at Purdy and Jack’s Creek, Tenn. 

A comprehensive history of a cavalry regiment can only be written by 
recording its daily movements. When not moving with its brigade it is 
often sent on dangerous and important missions far from its support, and 
has to depend upon the officer in command for a successful termination, and 
frequently he finds most exacting and trying conditions confronting him. 

The different companes of this regiment were daily sent on dangerous 
scouting duty, either separately or by detachments, and often secured in¬ 
formation that was of vital importance to the commanding General. These 
separate companies or detachments had to rely upon themselves in critical 
situations, and they often displayed during the war the genius of general¬ 
ship that would have distinguished them in history were such circumstances 
not so frequent or were they written up at the time and made public. 

In the movements of a great army the minor movements of regiments 
and companies are overshadowed and unknown except to those who take 
part. A regiment of cavalry performs most incessant and arduous service 
during a campaign, but its reconnoissances and scouts, its skirmishes and 
charges, are only a part of the main army and are seldom mentioned with 
the importance they deserve. The frequent charges, marches, battles and 
skirmishes of a cavalry regiment cannot be recorded with justice in a brief 
outline of its history. 

In January, 1864, the Third, was at La Grange, Tenn., where the regi¬ 
ment re-enlisted and was sent to Michigan on veteran furlough. The repu¬ 
tation it had attained drew a large number of recruits to its ranks at this 
time, and at the termination of the 30-day furlough the regiment reassem¬ 
bled at Kalamazoo and again, under command of Colonel Mizner, returned 
to St. Louis, Mo., where, in May, 1864, it was sent to Little Rock, Ark., and 
was soon engaged in scouting and driving General Shelby and the confed¬ 
erates he commanded beyond the Arkansas River. 

From November, 1864, to February, 1865, the headquarters of the Third 
were at Brownsville Station, Ark., and many marches and scouts were made 
in the surrounding country, securing large supplies for the Union army, thus 
immeasurably crippling the confederates, whose resources were constantly 
being curtailed. 

In March, 1865, the Third was transferred to the Military Department 
of the Mississippi, commanded by General Canby, to operate against Mobile. 
After the fall of that city it marched across Alabama and Mississippi to 
Baton Rouge, La. When General Sheridan was sent west to command the 
Military Department of the Southwest the regiment was ordered'to report 
to him for duty, and immediately joined the expedition to San Antonio, 
Texas, where it arrived August 2, after a long and fatiguing march. Here 
it was employed in guarding the Mexican border, where it performed 
garrison duty and engaged in constant scouting. Its headquarters were 
at San Antonio, Texas, until February 15, 1866, when it was dismounted 
and marched to Indianola, where it took a steamer for Cairo, Ill., via New 
Orleans, etc. 

On its return to Michigan, March 10, 1866, the regiment was rendez¬ 
voused at Jackson, where it was paid off and disbanded. The veterans 
of 1861 in this organization saw four years and six months’ service and a 
great majority of its recruits served well and faithfully for over three years. 
Its members, both officers and enlisted men, came from all sections of the 
state, and in a short time after their muster out could be found at their

former avocations, the better citizens for having been good soldiers. Their 
long and arduous service added luster to the lasting reputation won by the 
cavalry regiments from Michigan. 

SOME OF ITS ACTUAL SERVICE. 

From March, 1862, until December, 1863, the regiment took part in the 
following engagements and skirmishes: New Madrid, Mo., March 13, 1862; 
siege of Island No. 10, Mo., March 14 to April 7, 1862; Farmington, Miss., 
May 5, 1862; siege of Corinth, Miss., May 10 to 31, 1862; Spangler’s Mills,

Dec. 22, 1863; Jack’s Creek, Tenn., Dec. 24, 1863. 

Shortly after the engagement at Jack’s Creek the regiment returned to 
Michigan on veteran furlough, and on its return to the front was closely 
identified with the skirmishes and battles in the southwest, including the 
battle at Mobile, and at the surrender of the last rebel troops under General 
Richard Taylor. It is the record of the regiment that it did active service 
in ten states, occupying more territory and marching more miles than any 
regiment that left the state.
